To ALL wHoM IT MAY eoNeERN:

Be it known that I, J. J. ROSE, of Elmwood, in the county of Peoria, andState of Illinois, have invented a new and` useful Improvement inMachine foi` Upsetting, vCutting, and Punching Iron; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable those skilled inthe art to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in whichy l Figure 1 is aside vie`w of my improvedmachine.

' Figure 2 is a top view of the same.

Figure 3 is a vertical cross-section ofthe same, taken through the linew at, {igt-2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

My invention has for its object to improve the construction of myimproved machine, patentedAugustl, 1865, and numbered 49,158; and itconsists-in loperating the main lever by means of an eccentric fprmedupon the hand-lever; vin attaching the shear-blade to the main lever; informing a bevelled projection upon'the slide, extending through thecasting, s o that the said slide may be moved back by the direct'actionof thermain'lever; and in operating the punch by means of an eccentricformed upon the side of the hand-lever, the whole being constructed 'andarranged as hereinafter morc'fully described. y

`A is' the frameof the machine, between lthe rear ends of the sideplates al and' a2 of which' is pivoted the rear end of the-main lever B.C and D are the clamps, by which the iron is held while being'ups'et.The clamp C is stationary, being' securely attached to the frame A ofthe machine. The clamp D is attached to the slide E, that moves back toreceive the iron, and is then forced forward to upset it. e is aprojection formed upon the inner side of the slide E, which passes inthrough an opening in the frame A, and which has its inner -end 1bevelled,y as shown in g. '3, so that as the main le-ver B is raised, itmay force the slide E back into the proper.

position to receive the iron to beupset. Fis a curved lever, pivoted tothe projections formed' upon the frame A, in such a position that/itsupper end may rest 'against the outer end of the slide E, and itsA lowerend' may be in such a position that the main lever B, as it descends,will operate it to force the slide E inward, upsetting the iron held-bytheelamps C andD. G is the shear-blade, which isattached directly to theside of the lever B, so as to be operated to` cut the iron by themovement of the said lever. H is `the hand-lever, which is pivotedbetween thel upper parts ofthe forward ends'of the side plates al and a.The lower edgelof'the rear part of the lever H'is made cam-shaped, asshown in fig. 1, so as-tg act` upon the forward end ofithe main lever B,to

'force it down. l The cam-shaped part of the lever H has a. ange, h',formed upon the side of the-eam-shaped lower edge, which enters a grooveformed in theupper part of the' forward end of the lever B, or takeshold of a hooked-shaped projection or arm formed upon the said lever, soas to raise it as the free end of the lever H is raised. I is the punch,the holder J ofl which is securely attached to ablock, K, which moves upand down.V in a cavity formed in the-upper part ofthe forward end of theside plate al for its reception, and which has a circular hole formedthrough it for the reception of the eccentric L, formed solidly upon theside of the handlever H, and through which' the pivoting-pin 'of saidlever passes, so that -t-hepuneh I will ,be operated by the. movement ofthe handlever H.' By this construction, all the devices are operated bythe same movements of the same lever H, which is so constructed as tocombine the principles of the lever and inclined' plane in theapplication of the power.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The curvedlever F, pivoted in the frame A, in combination with the vslide E andlever B, whereby the latter in its downward movement presses upon theinner end of. the lever F, whose eut'er end forces the `slideinward toupset the iron held bythe 'clamps C D.

2. The combination of the eccentric L upon the eccentric lever-head H,`yoke K, and slotted side piece el,

withthe plunger J and punch I, as herein described, for the purposespecified. p

The construction and arrangement'oi` the main lever B,pivoted betweenside plates al` a2 n ttheir rear Aends, lever F, slide E, clamps GD, andhand-lever H, with ange 7c', as herein shown, for the purpose speeifed,

JOHNJ.- Rosa.
